Congrats to Peter Leibowitz of Hudson, who created "The Big Puppi," the grand prize-winner in Kayem's Create The Next Fenway Frank contest.

Kayem, the official Frank and Sausage of the Boston Red Sox and Fenway Park, made the announcement July 23 during its National Hot Dog Day celebration at The Landing at Long Wharf in Boston. Leibowitz was one of two finalists who served their creations at the event.

Leibowitz's signature frank was sold July 23 at Fenway Park during the Red Sox game against the Tampa Bay Rays. It will be sold at the park for the remainder of the season.

Leibowitz received a $1,000 cash gift card as grand prize- winner.

This spring, Kayem launched its first Create The Next Fenway Frank contest. Kayem and Aramark selected five finalists and Facebook fans voted for their favorite.

"Peter put a creative spin on the classic Fenway Frank, while maintaining the essence of enjoying a great tasting hot dog at the ballgame," said Bob Kufferman, Kayem senior brand manager. "During the contest we received several hundred unique Fenway Frank recipes, and we'd like to applaud all of our contestants for their passion and creativity."

Outback Steakhouse has partnered with Oreo for an Oreo Mini Milkshake giveaway to celebrate the addition of Mini Milkshakes on Outback's menu.

The deal: Now through July 31, customers can visit the Oreo Facebook page to claim a free Oreo Mini Milkshake via an Outback Steakhouse form fill site. The coupon will be redeemable at most Outback Steakhouse locations nationwide until Aug. 7.

The handcrafted Mini Milkshake, $2.99, is made to order to with Blue Bell Homemade Ice cream in a variety of flavors including vanilla, chocolate, strawberry Oreo Cookie and this summer's seasonal flavor, Banana Pudding. Each milkshake is topped with house-made whipped cream.

The milkshakes are served in mini milk jugs with an artistic straw and a flavor-relevant treat garnish.

Adam McDonald, the restaurant's bar manager, created the over-the-top drink. The drink itself sticks to tradition, made with vodka and the restaurant's house-made Bloody Mary mix, but it stops there.

The Ultimate Seafood Bloody Mary: "Balanced on and around the rim of the tall hurricane glass is freshly shucked oyster, bacon-wrapped prawn, a skewered crab cake slider, Dungeness crab meat in a lemon cup, crab-stuffed olives, celery, pickled green beans and hot peppers." The Bloody Mary mix includes a few "house secrets." Diced cocktail olives and garlic are added for extra flavor.

The Ultimate Seafood Bloody Mary costs $25, but is a meal and cocktail all in one.

Sabu Shake Jr., owner of the Fish Hopper, said, "Chefs and bartenders from around the region are surprised and impressed when they see the picture and tell me they've never seen a Bloody Mary presentation like this ever before."

They've got that right!

A traditional Bloody Mary drink looks kind of boring after seeing the Fish Hopper's monster of a drink.

I consider myself adventurous when it comes to food and drink.

I'll pass on this one.
